Friend,
In 34 days, it begins.
All of Donald Trump's political revenge fantasies. Every awful idea laid out in Project 2025. Mass deportations. Unfathomable smash-and-grab corruption. An all-out assault on democracy directed from the Oval Office.
We've lived through some dark times together. But this is different. Trump is an authoritarian who has pledged to imprison journalists, suspend the constitution, and prosecute the progressive activists he calls "the enemy within."
From the minute Donald Trump is sworn in on January 20, 2025, the entire progressive movement will be in danger — and that includes Common Dreams.
Today, we're launching our End-of-Year Campaign to raise $125,000 by January 1 and ensure we have the financial backing to fight back against whatever attacks come our way.
Corporate news outlets are already "obeying in advance." Democrats are cowering in fear. CEOs willingly bent the knee. But we will never, ever kneel to Trump.
We plan to be on offense, confronting Trump's corruption, hatefulness, greed, and violence with news and opinions designed to inform, inspire, and ignite change for the common good.
We will never tone down our commitment to social justice, human rights, equality, and peace.
So today, as we launch our make-or-break End-of-Year Campaign, we're asking all of our readers to chip in whatever you can to help keep Common Dreams not just alive but stronger than ever.
